The Queen’s Chronicles + Giveaway!
Here’s a quick look at a week that went by in a flash!
Cut & color day is always one of my favorites! What about those eyebrows though?? I have to get by Ulta to have these babies shaped up before they take over my face.
Carly Jo had her annual eye exam and she really had her heart set on getting contacts. She tried so hard but here little eyes are just not ready. After a few tears she decided new glasses would make her feel better.
These are much bigger than what she has now but she was super excited.
Wednesday and Thursday were filled with lots of emotion. Seeing a family say goodbye is tough but they did so with such great faith and it was a beautiful tribute to a life cut short but lived well. We sang I’ll Fly Away and the kids released maroon balloons at the end of the day.
Everyone was ready for snuggles and some tv time come Friday night.
Saturday this girl and I had the best time for hours at a skating party. This was her first time and she was a little shaky and skeptical but she did not give up. I’m so proud of her and by the end of the party she was doing so well. I spent pretty much all Fridays growing up from about 6th grade through 8th at the roller rink. I’ve still got it!
Sunday was fairly productive with laundry, grocery shopping and meals. I made the Pioneer Women’s stew recipe thanks to Tanya’s suggestion and I also put together the copycat recipe for Southwest Chicken Chili that I love from Jason’s Deli which I blogged about here and it was delish! Best part is my lunches are made through Wednesday and we have enough leftovers for diner tonight.
Spent Sunday afternoon with these two lovelies on the patio of the Corner Bar overlooking campus. We didn’t get a lot accomplished but we did have some good laughs!
